In December 2017, Coding Dojo researched the top 25 Fortune 500 companies to find out which coding languages are used most often. The language usage varies by company, but the most consistent finding is all companies use an average of at least four different languages. If you are new to the industry, knowing only one technology stack may not cut it.

“Not only are languages different tools for different jobs, but they are technologies that shape how you think about programming,” said Richard...

3 Reasons to Learn 3 Full Stacks

There's a cohort coming up, but I don't know if I've prepared enough... Should I wait and study more on my own?

I did not have to prepare much for the bootcamp, but I did do some online tutorials. The bootcamp preparation materials were designed for beginners and I struggled at the beginning. I just put in the extra hours needed to get some concepts down. However, if you don't deal well under pressure - it doesn't hurt to study up more.

"Its an overview, but if your a newbie, then you need to do it multiple times, with twice the amount of time. "

Overall, its a good overview on telling you what you don't know, so you can go back and work on it after you get out, while your looking for a job. The online program, mid program changed the Algorithm portion of the class, stopping it without any notice as well as firing half the Teaching assistants that answered questions. The excuse given was that the founder was coming back and was changing things up. As this was a core reason most people took the class, as algorithms allows you to pass interviews for a new position, that most of the students were upset. The next week, there was a notice that it was a choice for people to do it, but that they would be putting in a new program afterwards, which still has not been finished as of the end of the classes.

"Definitely better bootcamps out there..."

I came into the Coding Dojo bootcamp (ONLINE BOOTCAMP) with high expectations. Unfortunately, they fell short in more than one area. I'll elaborate on the pros and cons of my experience while attending Coding Dojo.

I initially joined Coding Dojo because their marketing lured me into finding out more and eventually signing up with them. I liked that they taught the MEAN stack and Python/Django. This is exactly what I wanted to learn. So naturally, joining for me was a no-brainer. First thing I noticed is that they have an algorithm app. They make you go through it before actually starting the course. This definitely helped prepare me for the more challenging aspects later on down the road. Second thing I noticed is that they have a lot of content for students to go through and it kee...

"What a joke..."

I have held this in for quite some time as I wanted to be sure that it wasn't just me.

I attended Coding Dojo in Fall of 2015 and was lured by the three full stacks that they offer. This is a bit misleading as you can't quite choose what order you take the stacks in nor can you really choose what stacks you learn. Do you want to learn Python, PHP, and Ruby? NOPE, sorry you can only learn one complete fullstack (LAMP or Python) and then choose 2 watered down tutorials containing the same projects but in a different language.

Oh, do you want help learning anything? NOPE - Just sit in a big room with 30 other cohort members and 2 other cohorts as well. YES: my cohort was 30+ large. We had 2-3 TAs and an "instructor". I say this in quotes because it's like in High School when you hav...

So this was the same experience I had. Honestly.. I have never been more dissapointed in my life. The hardest thing is that there is such false advertising out there about this school. Once you arrive and are in class for a few days you feel like you have totally been bamboozled. Now I have no real skills to use and am out $10k.

"Disappointed"

I learned a lot from this course but if i had to do it again, I would have went to another bootcamp. First, I would not suggest learning this many stacks in this amount of time. its too much. By the time you start to understand whats going on, its time to moved on to the next stack. I felt like if I had only done two stacks i would have been able to really master the material and be career ready. Second, i feel like i was promised much more than i got. i don't know if it is because my location was so new or what. But career services was not set up, they did not help with meet ups, they had barley enough teachers to keep the bootcamp running (instructors were sent from Seattle location). It is hard to get instructors to actually teach you something. The platform is not good. Its missing ...

"Mixed Exp"

Attende LA remote and on site. While the Dojo has a solid curriculum that can indeed make one job ready, your performance and mastery of the content is directly correlated with the quality of your teacher. We had a great instructor for the first stack (PHP/LAMp) but the teachers were rotated and were so so for Javasceipt and iOS. In fact a lot of students ended up dropping out due to almost 0 help or benefit from under-qualified instructors. This was quite a disappointment as many of the former students turned instructors cannot help with anything outside the scope of the coding dojo platform. In fact some can't even help with things outside of the day's/weeks work because they still haven't reviewed other content. I don't want to make it sound too negative as I did learn a lot. I just ...
